If you like things like coil gun armed robosapiens, then you'll thank [Aaron] for sharing his teams quest for the ultimate in stupid robot tricks. They hauled a 2800 pound industrial robot to the desert and used it to toss bowling balls... at an innocent RV. To top things off, they even lit one on fire. He even had to call the manufacturer up and sweet talk them into telling him how to speed up the robot so they could throw the balls even harder. The fire I can understand, but I've got no explanation for the roman gladiator or the bunny suit. Videos embedded after the break.
21. The making of that video looks like it must've cost quite a bit (borrow a robot, rent a generator, transport etc.) - who pays out that much for a hack-a-day and youtube video??
